Submission Details

Description

Essex County Council (ECC) currently delivers business support through two main programmes: the Ambitious Essex Growth Hub, funded by the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), and Backing Essex Business, funded by ECC. While both services have been effective in supporting businesses across the county, feedback from the business community has consistently highlighted challenges in navigating the support landscape and identifying the most appropriate service for their needs. With both contracts due to expire on 31st March 2026, ECC is taking the opportunity to reprocure and consolidate these services into a single, streamlined business support offer. This new service will be designed to simplify access for businesses, adapt to business needs, remove duplication, and deliver improved value for money.
